SOURCES WERE ANALYZED WITH UP-TO-DATE SCIENTIFIC AND MUSICOLOGICAL METHODOLOGY.-THE NATIONAL EDITION WAS BASED ON SOURCES ORIGINATED FROM THE COMPOSER, MAINLY AUTOGRAPHS, COPIES OF AUTOGRAPHS AND FIRST EDITIONS WITH THE COMPOSER`S CORRECTIONS, AND PUPILS` COPIES WITH CHOPIN`S ANNOTATIONS. IN CASES WHEN ORIGINAL SOURCES WERE LACKING, THE CLOSEST POSSIBLE MATERIALS WERE USED. COLLECTING THE SOURCE MATERIALS WAS A LABORIOUS TASK WHICH TOOK YEARS OF EFFORT.-THE CHARACTERISTICS OF SOURCES, THE LINKS AND DISCREPANCIES BETWEEN THEM AS WELL AS THE REASONS FOR PARTICULAR EDITORIAL DECISIONS ARE DISCUSSED IN THE SOURCE COMMENTARY IN EACH VOLUME.-THE PERFORMANCE COMMENTARY APPENDED TO EACH VOLUME INCLUDES: THE REALIZATION OF ORNAMENTS, COMMENTS ON PEDAL MARKINGS (THE ORIGINAL MARKINGS SOMETIMES ARE INADEQUATE, DUE TO THE DIFFERENCE IN SOUND BETWEEN PIANOS USED IN CHOPIN`S TIMES AND MODERN PIANOS), SUGGESTIONS AS TO THE “HARMONIC LEGATO” (A PERFORMANCE TECHNIQUE OFTEN USED BY CHOPIN AND NOW FORGOTTEN).-NOTA: SI BUSCA ALGUNA PARTITURA O MÉTODO, ENVÍENOS UN MENSAJE Y CON GUSTO ATENDEREMOS SU COMENTARIO, SOMOS ESPECIALISTAS EN MÚSICA IMPRESA, SI REQUIERE FACTURA FAVOR DE SOLICITARLA AL MOMENTO DE SU COMPRA.
